This piece features percussive techniques; tapping, strumming, rubbing, and brushing. The piece’s title may be tongue-in-cheek, but it is also informative as it advises against using knuckles (knocking) on the wood of the instrument. Instead, tap the wood on the top (front) of the instrument with two or three fingers. In m. 27, dampen the strings with the left hand and tap on the fingerboard with the right hand. In mm. 41–48, the viola is held like a guitar; the strings are dampened with the left hand, and the right hand strums. No pitches should sound. In mm. 77–80, the right hand rubs or brushes the front of the instrument. To prevent any damage, do not strike the instruments too hard.Focus on ensemble and dynamics; the sound will carry if the rhythms are executed precisely.
